BW printer recommendation
« on: July 07, 2015, 11:38:25 am »

My 3800 is, according to Mark, about 9 years old.  still chugging along.  My work is 95% b/w, using Quadtone RIP and Nik software for b/w conversions.  I print on Canson Baryata for exhibits.

Would the P800 Epson show me much improvement over what I have now?  I do like to print on canvas, but the 3800 does not like canvas, requiring some real gymnastics to get a decent print.  I see where the P800 has a roll feeder available, but how does it do with canvas? 8)

The blacks are deeper with the new ink, but that does not matter if you print on canvas, since canvas has a smaller gamut as far as I know.
